Waterbuck

(Kobus ellipsiprymnus - Ogilby, 1833)

Locally, the Waterbuck is known as a “Kringgat”. “Kring” meaning ‘circle’ and “gat” meaning ‘rear’. The Waterbuck carries a distinct white circle on its rear. Legend also holds that the Waterbuck might have been the first animal to use the freshly painted toilets on Noah’s Ark, thus leaving a white ring of wet paint on its rear.
